Description
Internship (Apprenticeship/Internship/Practicum with variable meeting hours) Learn about community development and advocacy through practical experience in an inner city organization. Students spend six hours per week at a community organization, working on assignments directed by organization staff and supported by the course instructor. Students put into practice the theory they have learned in prerequisite and other courses in their degree. They complete written and oral assignments that emphasize reflection and integration of learning. Monthly in-class seminars focus on debriefing, support, and self-reflection, as well as on topics like ethical decision making and self- and community- care.
